    Lots of men patiently explaining they don't kick each other in the balls coz it really hurts & empathy is a thing.https://twitter.com/SocImages/status/892131164030459904 …

    I argued that men avoid ball-kicking to protect the myth of masculinity. In secret, they agreed: https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2017/07/31/i-argue-that-men-avoid-ball-kicking-to-protect-the-myth-of-masculinity-men-respond-in-the-most-surprising-way/ … #socgender

        The reason guys don't kick testicles is because there's a lie to uphold. Women don't hit breasts because they're good ppl?

        It must always be about subordinating women.

        Or she's found a fetishist. There was one who used to haunt the internet who spoke like this & challenged women to kick him in the balls.

        Are you referring to article itself or the twitter replies? Not sure how to read your tweet. Suggesting there is "mansplaining" at work?

        I'm referring to the replies. Men having to state the obvious. If anything, feministsplaining of men is going on.

        Would we term this "womansplaining"? "Hi guys - let me tell you all about being kicked in the balls and why I know more than you about it"

        that woman is a grade-A moron. You're right; we don't do it because we know how much it hurts.

        It also turns an asskicking if you lose into a more dangarous stomping if you try to kick the balls, and other guys will lose respect 4u.

        also, precedent-stting: if you cross that line with other guys, it's okay for them to cross it with you and everybody loses...

        Hit someone on the temple, it's more effective. You can start with a knee to the balls to get an opening, and then elbow to the face.

        This is completely stupid tbh, some martial arts specifically focus on weak points like knee, nose, eyes, throat and yeah, balls.

        You don't see men gouging each others eyes either, so I guess eyes are a receptacle of masculinity? Or we live in a civilized society.

        This has to be outrage click bait. Damn near every single comment on Twitter and on the site is angry condemnation.

        I'm pleased to read research that the 'myth of masculinity' includes a practical view toward pain. I thought pain was just mansplaining.
